I would like to send an e-mail and would like for the reciepient to confirm that they received it. How do I ?

Answer 1

In the email write, "Write me back when you get this"

Answer 2

It depends on what email host you have. I use outlook and it offers a reciept confirmation. It confirms when the recipient opens the actual email. Very nifty.  Maybe yours has one too?

Answer 3

You can type in the end of the message for them to send a message back if they recive it

Answer 4

ask them to confirm maybe?

Answer 5

EGOTIT for OUTLOOK

Description

Universal email confirmation. Email anyone on the Internet and know if it was read. If an email is not opened within a specified time the sender gets a warning notification. The process is invisible to the receiver and is unobtrusive. Easy to use, no learning curve. Reports are available on-line showing: - Undelivered mail only- or - All emails sent sorted by date or by recipient . Independent of receivers mail reading software or IP provider. Email thus becomes a reliable means of sending correspondence.

no clue

Answer 7

Just mention it.  Say "please reply so I know you got this."  But they won't necessarily do so, especially if you are a stranger to them.  A reply confirms that you have the correct email address for them, and they may not want to do that.

I don't think there is any way to know for sure, except that if you don't get a "mailer daemon" notice, they probably did get it.  They may have deleted it without even reading it, but they got it.  Or someone did.
